Jaguar Classic – and electric
The company unveiled its first Jaguar E-Type EV conversion: a 1962 Series 1 Roadster finished in a metallic blue-silver paint (see video above).
This conversion of the E43 is equipped with Electrogenic’s package, which consists of 43 kWh of new OEM batteries providing just over 150 miles of range.
Check out other specs below:
- 160 hp (120 kW);
- torque 63.2 lb-ft;
- – acceleration from zero to 100 km / h in less than six seconds;
- The battery is fully charged in about 50 minutes.
For customers interested in more range, Electrogenic says Jaguar E-Type EV conversion kits include E48 and E63 options, offering 48kWh and 63kWh battery capacities, with a range of 257km and over 320km respectively. .
Electrogenic says it now offers custom-built Jaguar E-Type EV conversions, as well as the option to purchase the aforementioned coupling kit, which can be installed by any certified technician.
The electric motor is installed in the space vacated by the gearbox and batteries in the compartment where the engine block was and in the rear of the vehicle, where the fuel tank and spare wheel were. Long-range packages like the E63 store extra batteries behind the rear seats.
The kits fit directly into the vehicle’s existing bodywork, meaning they are fully reversible.
Inside Jaguar Electric
Electrogenic kept the classic dashboard but repurposed its ports for the modern EV era.
For example, the original fuel gauge now shows the charge status and the oil temperature gauge now shows the supercharger temperature.
Company co-founder Steve Drummond talked about the potential of conversion kits for Jaguar and beyond:
These kit shipments truly mark the beginning of a new chapter for the company, taking the business to a whole new level. It’s definitely an exciting time to be on Electrogenic, and this is just the beginning.
